monster feeadcbd76 art: add The Art of Boring Software — concept-art prompt library
101 advanced JSON image-generation prompts (Gemini 2.5 Flash / 'Nano Banana') for the ENTROPY OS concept-art book, organized by function:
- 00_art-direction: the visual canon (_ART_DIRECTION.md), JSON _TEMPLATE.json, worked _EXAMPLE.json
- 01_key-art (9), 02_characters (16), 03_environments (14), 04_ui-menus (12),
  05_key-moments (16), 06_hardware-props (12), 07_branding-ephemera (12), 08_motifs (10)

Every prompt is a self-contained Nano-Banana-ready paragraph plus structured fields (aspect ratio,
master-palette hexes, lighting, composition, text_in_image, period-anachronism avoid list, model
tips). One visual language: beige-and-grey dominant, one accent glow per image, teal reserved for the
ominous, locked to 1998-99. art/README.md indexes all 101.

"prompt": "A macro still-life of a 'WARRANTY VOID' rubber stamp and its fresh red impression, shot close and low on a beige (#c0c0c0) form under a single warm office lamp. A worn wooden-and-grey-rubber 1998 office stamp rests on its side, handle catching a soft highlight, the carved rubber face still wet with red ink; beside it on the form sits its just-pressed impression in slightly smeared fragment-red (#c0392b): a bold ringed mark reading 'WARRANTY VOID' around the rim, and in the smaller circle inside, the deadpan small print 'void upon opening, operating, observing, or contemplating.' The impression is imperfect — heavier ink on one side, a skip where the rubber lifted, a faint double-strike ghost — the texture of a real stamp pressed by a tired hand. The beige form beneath shows faint navy (#000080) preprinted field lines and the corner mark 'FORM 27-B/6'. A small red ink-pad sits half in shadow. Dust motes hang in the lamp beam; the whole frame is warm grey and beige with the single red mark as the wound of color. A barely-there teal (#207878) reflection glints in the wet ink of the stamp face — the only cool note, watching. Painterly matte concept art, filmic grain, shallow focus, intimate and slightly degraded. Mood: small, bleak, comedic-cosmic finality. 1:1.",
